Generosity's Bitch

Generosity's Bitch 04/27/2009

You guys are too generous. I like to try and respond to everyone's comments, but you all flooded me before I much woke up this morning!

Still, you guys are generous. That short story was something that came to me in the hour before I went to bed myself. I was reading Obsquatch's blog and he made mention of "2:26" and I kind of just took it from there (thanks, dude!). I try and put a little more purpose into a story, but this one, well, I didn't. Which is why you guys are too generous.

The intention was to hint at the subtext of the writer's life, the reasons he enjoys sleep more than his waking life ... all without actually getting into those details. It was a short story and I was giving myself less than an hour to write it.

So, I know that it's shallow on the surface, despite the miniscule effort to beef up the subtext. I think you ended being so generous because of everyone's ability to relate to it it: everybody prefers their dreams at least once in their life.

Anyway, to show my gratitude for all of the support you've all showered upon me and the dedication you've exhibited by making the trek over from my youtube and twitter pages, I want to offer up a copy of one of the books--any book--as the prize to an impromptu contest. To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment telling me which book you'd like to win and why. I'll select a random winner at the end of the day (okay, tomorrow morning, just to be fair) and then send you the book.

Don't believe me? Recent winners of my random prize giveaways include AngryPunkBronxKid (he got a t-shirt for pointing out the Talking Heads episode number anomaly) and FalconNeko (who also won a t-shirt for catching the recycled Beanie Boy theme music in the new krumbinesBRAIN).

I give away WAY too much shit. No reason why you shouldn't receive some of it, right?

Also: I want to draw your attention to the sidebar on the right. Underneath the the EotU:Vampires! banner, there's the first Zaphod Zombie comic that I made a little while ago. I'm hoping to hash out more scripts and do a few more comics when I have a chance ... nothing regular, mind you ... I just enjoy the characters and believe they deserve to continue to be realized in some form or another. Regular comics will be coming soon in the form of Explorers of the Unknown. Yes, there are big doings developing behind the scenes!

Stay tuned and stay creative!

You DO give away way too much stuff, but that's kinda nice.
I don't want a free book as you already gave me Vampires for free when I won d8 w/ d34th. BUT, as I said in a recent YT comment I want a goddamm TH DVD when I, in the not too distant future, splurge my cash all over your books and t-shirts.

Love the Zaphod strip. Did you draw it? If so, you are so annoyingly multi-talented that I think I'd like to slap you.

Mmm, must read Obsquatch's blog.

Yes, I did draw Zaphod! Unfortunately, I'm not as talented as all that and one strip like that takes hours and hours of very hard labor for me.

While I do have a number of left-over Talking Heads DVDs (those were the ones that Kat and Jen both got) I'm planning on putting together a "Year 1" TH DVD in honor of our first year (which is tomorrow!).

1. because I wrote your name on my cleavage.
2. because I wrote your name on my cleavage TWICE now.

I'm just kidding krumbine, I dont need free stuff. I'm too far away and spoiled enough that I can pay for it myself. (And by myself I mean my dad).

Love love.

I want d8 w/ d34th because I have boobs...

But really, it's 3.25am here...I'm falling asleep but WANT WANT WANT one of your books because I need an insight into your brain in the written word so my mind can interpret it without the interruption of your wild gesticulating appendages.

This d8 w/ d34th looks interesting. Failing that I like the sound of Videorama with Caffeine in 3rd Place.

I'm already getting a shirt... what more could I want?

However, I am a readily available and likeminded talent... so if you really wanted to sweeten the deal to get me to help out with stuff...?

of all your books "Caffeine" seems like the best read
